Save a dash for Leaping Slash and stand away from your partner so it cannot hit both of you. Leave Gloom Bombs’ marked area before they detonate. Slow the enemy with Splatter. Save The Cube for yourself or your partner before heavy damage hits.
Pause attacks while Return to Shadows makes Calico untargetable, then attack when she reappears. Its final upgrade heals her and refreshes her abilities, so expect another Leaping Slash or Ava escape. Use Puddle Punch or Goo Ball to separate Calico from the teammate she is threatening, choosing a route that does not carry you into the enemy team.
Protect whoever Calico attacks while leaving enough space that Leaping Slash cannot hit several allies. Attack when she reappears after Return to Shadows, keeping your teammates within reach. Use The Cube on a threatened teammate before the next damaging hit. They cannot take new actions while protected, so leave them a safe position to return to.
